THINGS NEW AND OLD. Knoweldge of our duties is the most use ful part of our philosophy. Better a little wit to lift the latch than the strength of an ox to force the gate. The measure of choosing well is whether a man likes what he has chosen. — Lamb. The freer you feel yourself in the pres ence of another, the more free is he. — Laratcr. No blindness or lack of opportunity to d.) great things deprives any of the right to be a good man. If you can quietly wait while the pearl is made, you will gain the pearl plus its value ten thousand times, viz., patience. He is happy whose circumstances suit his temper ; Imt he is more excellent who can suit his temper co any circumstances. Courtship consists in the Dumber of quiet attentions, not so pointed as to alarm, not so vague as not to he under stood . — Sterne. Man's free will is free will up to a cer tain point only ; he may choose what he will think, say or do, but he cannot choose what the consequences of these things shall he ; they are iixed by a law at once immutable and gracious. Nuggets. Ambition breaks the ties of blood and forgets the obligation of gratitude. The desire of more rises liy a natural gradation to most, and after that to all. Of all the things which man can do or make here below, by far the most moment ous, wonderful and worthy are the thins;'. we call books. — Carlylc. If rich, it is easy enough to conceal our wealth ; but if poor, it is not (juite so easy to conceal our poverty. We shall find it less difficult to hide a thousand guineas than one hole in our coat. — Cotton. All men have hours in which they see and do not think. Men of genius now and then are luminous in that way. From their souls they throw light upon things and know without reason. — H. It". Beeeker, What is with the treasure must fare as the treasure; the heart which haunts the treasure-house where the moth and rust corrupt, will itself be rusted and moth eaten. Many a man or woman, fair and flourishing to see, is going about with a rusty, moth-eaten heart. One of the best rules in conversation is, never to say a thing which any of the com pany can reasonably wish we had rather left unsaid ; nor can "there well be anything more contrary to the ends for which people meet together than to part unsatisfied with each other or tkemselves. Betrayed by a Donkey. A teamster drove a wagon loaded wit], Btones into the city of Marseilles, France. At the gate the excisemen asked him if he had anything to pay duty on. He had not, he said. The officers, examining the load, found below the stones three casks of brandy. The teamster took to his heels, abandoning his property. "How can we find him?" wan the question discussed by •the officers. "I have it!" cried one of them. "Let me have the donkey and I shall find the man." He allowed the don key to select his own road. The donkey led the way through the most populous part of the city, and at last stood still in front of a house and began singing in his most melodious tune. A window was thrown open, a man thrust out his head, and the officer immediately recognized the runaway teamster. This time the fellow failed to make his escai>e. — Chicago Her ald.
